[quote who="Userarm" reply="39" id="3282617"]It appears to be the link in the OP, i had to use the download link you put at the top of page 2 and that works.[/quote] This appears to be the case. The link in the OP is broken, but the link to v.61 appears to work, top posting on page 2.

I've been a professional developer for over 25+ years, and work fairly extensively with XML. Editing XML is easy enough, anyone can do it. But editing the value of an XML tag is completely different than knowing and understanding what that value affects, or how it's used. Having descriptive XML tag names is helpful, but just knowing the name doesn't really tell you how that value is used, or what the acceptable entries for a given tag are, or what the possible ra

I would not pay $10 for Line of Sight, I would hope it would've been included in the base game, and as such isn't worth extra money.

[quote who="giskarduk" reply="26" id="3281389"]Traditionally modders made their own way, wrote their own docs, discovered things our selves and shared those discoveries on the forums. Frogboy is from the generation of modders that worked that way. From a period in time when editors where rare or restricted to basic map editors. Modding was frowned up on and modders battled hard for acceptance. Devs that wanted their games to be modded left the files editable directly or indirectly.

What you don't comprehend is that polite positive and docile threads fall out of sight and never get read. This one did, I got an answer, it's not dignified but it works.

I'm just hoping for documentation and a stable modding environment, where things work as expected and consistently. I'd love to try my hand at some modding, I have some relatively unique ideas (at least I think they're unique) but don't have the time to try and discover what does what, where it does it, why it does it, how it does it, how to alter what it does, where it does it, etc... Brad, I also remember a dev journal where you talked about the campaign

[e digicons]:'([/e] What a sad poor baby... I feel so very sorry you. It's almost as if you've never purchased any game before, because they all fall short of their potential. They all do not live up to their hype, every game creator misleads their customers in one way or another. There is no such thing as the perfect game, because what is perfect for one person, isn't so perfect for another. Accept your loses and just move on. I don't

[quote who="parrottmath" reply="1" id="3279286"]Couldn't a person make a tiny map that has the quest on the actual design? Then you can test the quest to your hearts content.

[quote who="Valentine82" reply="16" id="3270323"]I just wanted this game not to be so fking boring and bland, I've played the whole game and it sucks, the magic in this game sucks, the factions are all two flavors of vanilla crap, and this is something they could have done easily from the mechanics in the game to give the factions some identifiable differences on the map.

[quote who="parrottmath" reply="255" id="3279289"] Quoting Murteas, reply 253The other way I can think of is to create a custom map that you populate only with your quest and a starting point for you & an enemy on an island. You'd have to mod the xml though to get your quest as they don't show up in the workshop. They actually do show up in the workshop. My test quest showed up at the very very bottom.

Good day Murteas... So after our conversation yesterday ( https://forums.elementalgame.com/436784 ) I downloaded the Quest Wizard and gave it a whirl. Really good job in putting that together, it wasn't nearly as complicated to make a quest as I thought it was going to be. But... You knew there had to be a "but", right? I understand this is completely beyond your control, but perhaps you may know some
